If you choose to work for the WMA or any of its Member Boards you will be joining an organisation which is striving to provide employees with a positive employment experience.

Passionate about Drainage and Water Level Management

The WMA and its Member Boards have a low staff turnover, the downside of this is that career opportunities don’t come up very often.
